What about NHL? It's a far better game and it's made by the same company, so they'd still be able to kiss EA's arse.

If 2k had the ability to make football games, they'd kill madden.

Microsoft should step up and make an MLB game for the 360, a la The Show for Sony's consoles. 2K only has the 3rd-party rights. 1st-party publishers can still make MLB-licensed games. It would give 2K competition on the 360 and PS3.

"Can" is the key word. Microsoft can, but doesn't; so 2k's MLB game has no comp.

You would think all of the people on here, in the madden forums over at EA sports, as well as any other site that has a lot of madden haters could wait a little while to be dissappointed. The game is usually shipped with some type of glitch that makes the game unplayable until EA patches it anyway.lol, what's the rush ?

Great game, but only those with a PS3 can play it. 360 owners need an alternative, too.
